I was expecting an Amazon
gift card for Christmas this year but unfortunately the Mezco Popeye that I had my eye on jumped from retail to $100 before I received my gift and looks like it will stay at that price. I decided to get the Marvel first 10 years hardcover art book set on discount instead before it went back up in price.
I'll just forget that that Popeye figure existed and save up for the rest of the Kingpin and M'Baku waves later.
It's strange that these three ML waves suddenly became available at the beginning of the year, almost like it was a mandate from Hasbro.
